Thanks, Daniel. That is the issue. I probably should have described it more clearly.
Do you have a sense of a fix timeline? If there is a relatively prompt fix, I can backport it to our internal build instead of introducing churn in our many, many logging configuration files. If it is likely to be a long time, I'll go ahead and change the logging configs.
